I've had a similar experience lately.

I'm currently traveling in New Zealand and have found my need to sleep dramatically increased. I go through more REM cycles than I ever have before and as a result I have the same dreams over and over in ONE sleep session.

But in the first rerun of a dream I KNOW what's going to happen (I'm not lucid as I'm not aware that I'm dreaming) so I can freak everyone in my dream out with my uncanny knowledge of what is to come.
It's usually great fun, but it can sometimes be challenging.

Hehe, I had a dream where I was sparring with katanas with the Matrix cast and we were really having a blast but Tom Cruise would ALWAYS come in and break everything up by jumping on our swords (Oprah-couch-style) and thus breaking them. We ended up beating the crap out of him when he was hiding in a bush, but I digress.


I think this might be a useful way of training for lucidity - if you can identify your dream signs it should be MUCH easier to look for them in constant reruns of your dream.
This is all theoretical and needs testing. Anyone up for it? I'll report what I can find in my own oneironautical ventures.
